Chorus:
Dm
There's a shard of glass under your smile
A
And a shattered pane inside your voice
Gm                     F
I hope you die before I do, I do
Dm
Medicate the cogs that turn too well
A
Dulled teeth can't drive the carousel
G                      F
I hope you die before I do, I do

Verse:
Dm
Will you try, hide your life from the public eye?
A
Then tell them it was performance in the highlights
Dm
We never spoke, but you kissed me well
A
What is faith if not devotion in a patient cell?
Dm
I've written both our initials on my wrist with ink
A
Mark the space just in case you wanna brand them in
Dm
If you don't, that's alright, I can improvise
A
I can heat you up from the sidelines
Dm
I am the ghost in your sold-out seats
A
I am the apparition haunting all the dressing rooms you left empty
Dm
Refrain with headlines, belay with law
A
They merely talk of your heart, but I visit nightly

Chorus:
Dm
There's a shard of glass under your smile
A
And a shattered pane inside your voice
Gm                     F
I hope you die before I do, I do
Dm
Medicate the cogs that turn too well
A
Dulled teeth can't drive the carousel
Gm                     F
I hope you die before I do, I do
